It has been a wonderful Test match and both teams have fought really well. Bangladesh have managed a historic feat. Australia are the best Test team in the world and the Tigers overcame many uncertainities on this fourth day to pick up seven Australian wickets. 

Shakib Al Hasan was once again instrumental to Bangladesh's victory. He grabs a fifer in the second innings as well. He has been chosen as the player of the match for his all round performances. What a player!

70.5, Aus 244/10 - And that's the victory for Bangladesh! Hazzlewood goes! Taijul takes the final wicket.

Glenn Maxwell is on 14(24) while Pat Cummins is batting at 2(7).

Bangladesh need the wicket of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. He is the one who can take the game away from the Tigers.

Tigers set up a field to cut off the boundaries but Australia are looking to get the singles whenever they can manage.
